A lot of wasted OnePass miles to travel that far without a lot of amenities.

LAX-IAH-EZE is a MUCH better routing and the CO flight attendants are much friendlier and more attentive than on COPY
I don't think anyone would argue that the BF product is better if you can get it. On a reward I'd be very hesitant to go Copa to deep South America and would absolutely not if BF was available unless I really needed to stop in PTY again.

But the price point on revenue tickets in the forward cabin is often quite a bit lower than what CO charges for BF. You're not getting the BF product or service, but you're also not paying BF prices.
